Hi Alyce,
Thank you for the wonderful very helpful site. Do you have any idea what the YSL birthday gift is? Does it require a purchase? I’ve looked everywhere online and no one is posting what the gift is or any other info.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
-Anna
Hi Anna, Thanks for visiting MakeupBonuses.com!
I just updated the Free Birthday Gifts page with the Yves Saint Laurent birthday gift info. As of June 2017, a $75 purchase is required to redeem the free gift (a full size YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Baby Doll in Fetish Black).
Regards, Alyce
Thank you for responding. Now I can stop thinking about it because I don’t think I will spenf $75 to get a free mascara!
Thanks for sharing those free birthday gifts! I love Benefit, Philosophy Beauty, Sephora … I saw so many I likes. lol
This page has so many tempting things, it is always fun to get new products!
Thanks for sharing this.
Christina
P.s Pink is my favorite color so I love the color of your site 🙂
Hi Christina, I’m happy to hear that you like the pink color scheme and the free birthday treats! 🙂
That free gift from Benefit (in-store Brow Arch) is a really unique one!!
Regards, Alyce
Love love love this page.
Beauty and freebies rolled in to one. What’s not to love.
Always nice to get new beauty products and quite cool to have links all in the one place to check out the freebies rather than having to search through all the websites myself.
Definitely be signing up to get some new birthday gifts.
Keep up the good work and I’ll be saving this site for sure
Thank you Andrea! I hope you enjoy your free birthday treats!
Regards, Alyce
Awesome! Thank you I’ll definitely be getting my free birthday gifts when my birthday comes around! Thanks!
Milissa
This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing the information. I was aware that some companies did this, but not so many of them. I am most definitely an urban decay junkie, so I will be signing up for their gifts.
I was wondering though, do the loyalty programs cost to join?
Hi Betsey, Most of the loyalty programs are free join, and many of the free gifts do not require a purchase to redeem the gift! I hope you enjoy all the freebies – including the free Urban Decay eyeshadow!
Regards, Alyce
Wow, my wife is really going to get a kick out of this, its her birthday later this month. She knows about the sephora birthday gift.. Its almost been a birthday tradition where we would go to Dennys for her free breakfast followed by Sephoras for her free gift. I guess now her birthday tradition is going to be a bit more of a journey haha. Thanks for the info!
Hi Rob, what a sweet gesture to share these bonuses with your wife! I hope you have a very enjoyable “journey” this year going around to collect free birthday swag! 🙂
Regards, Alyce
Haha, thanks!
Hello Alyce
Thanks for sharing your post with free birthday gifts, gifts do not always have to be expensive and free is even better.
I`d have really loved to receive a goodie pack from Elemis, I love their products but can’t quite afford their prices, but you mention there is no place to insert birthdate.
Another thing im not sure about, do you think they ship internationally? im not from the US so before giving out my email address would like to know if they also accept sending overseas.
You`ve covered some of my favorite lines in beauty products, Vyes Saint Laurent do have lovely products and $75 minimum purchase is achievable so I will sure take a closer look.Thanks for sharing
Hi Roamy, Thanks for checking out the list of free birthday gift offers! The Elemis website mentions they ship to a handful of international destinations, click here for specific details. Hopefully you’ll get a birthday offer from them shortly after signing up for their loyalty program!
Regards, Alyce
Hi Alyce,
The idea of getting an offer, a free gift or a discount for makeup on your special day is awesome! We seem to have only two of them around here: The body shop and the YSL. Is it possible to have a purely online relationship with these shops? Do they all have minimum purchases to be made and what will it be? Thanks for this information. Good job!
Hi Juliet, Some of these offers require a purchase (or payment for shipping costs), but some of them are completely free!! Most offers are available online for the US market, but there are a handful of free gifts that are redeemable in-store (like the free brow arch from Benefit).
Regards, Alyce
